It's so awesome that you were still able to enjoy the race despite it just not being your day. And I hear you--I'm a little burnt out on racing as well.

And what a beautiful course and day you had. I've only been to Niagara Falls once before but still remember how incredible the views were. I don't think I could ever tire of seeing it.
